I got it to work briefly last night, but its not working again now. Here's the deal: -I have a sony vaio with vista as my operating system. -When I put a disc in, I can hear it making noise like its going to read it, but then nothing happens and if I go to "My Computer" its shows nothing in the drive. -My device manager tells me this: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" Any ideas????? I've already tried uninstalling, restarting and reinstalling.

Or it just doesn't work for them. It works for me and is faster than xp has ever been for me. applefreek113 Posted at 8:41 pm on July 17, 2008 the first problem is that its vista lol JeremyM Posted at 5:54 am on July 15, 2008 Quote: from greatescape11 at 1:40 pm on July 13, 2008 vista as my operating system.

This resolved it for him, he was running vista aswell. Whoa!   That worked.  Thanks!

Also, From the device manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc), right-click the drive in question, click properties, click the driver tab, and list the driver version.  And also list the name of the drive, which will appear both from the main device manager and the top of the driver window you just opened.  I'll check to make sure your drivers are up to date. tait Posted at 10:42 am on July 13, 2008 Go to device manager right click on the drive then select disable then enable. See if that works. bravosquadsas Posted at 10:42 am on July 13, 2008 the driver for your cd drive has been removed or is broken. find the manufacturer and model number of the disc drive in my computer and go to their website and have a hunt around for driver downloads. if that fails try the sony website and they should have all of the drivers for any pieces of equipment they supply.
